Abstract
An engine control module is associated with a particular engine system, and used to store information concerning manufacturing instructions for manufacturing the engine system and as-built information about the particular engine system. The engine control module also stores engine system operating instructions operable to enable the engine control module to control one or more aspects of the engine system operation.
Claims41
A method of manufacturing an engine system, comprising:
- associating an engine control module with a particular engine system;
- storing information concerning at least one of manufacturing instructions for manufacturing the engine system and as-built information about the particular engine system in a memory of the engine control module;
- and
- storing engine system operating instructions in a memory of the engine control module, the engine system operating instructions operable to enable the engine control module to control one or more aspects of the engine system operation.
